Answer:

k = 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x^2 - 5x + k

dy/dx = 2x - 5 = the slope of the tangent to the curve

The slope of the normal = -1/(2x - 5)

The line  3y + x =25 is normal to the curve so finding its slope:

3y = 25 - x

y = -1/3 x + 25/3 <------- Slope is -1/3

So at the point of intersection with the curve, if the line is normal to the curve:

-1/3 = -1 / (2x - 5)

2x - 5 = 3  giving x = 4.

Substituting for x in y = x^2 - 5x + k:

When x = 4, y =  (4)^2 - 5*4 + k  

y = 16 - 20 + k

so y = k - 4.

From the equation y = -1/3 x + 25/3,  at x = 4

y = (-1/3)*4 + 25/3 = 21/3 = 7.

So y = k - 4 = 7

k = 7 + 4 = 11.

serg [7]

Answer:

a = 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Our strategy to solve this problem will be to use the information given in the table to obtain  first the value of c in the quadratic equation which has the form ax^2 + bx + c and then form a system of 2 linear equations  and solve for the coefficients a and b as follow:

from x=0 and y=-3   a*0 + b* 0 + c = - 3

c = -3

from x=1 and  y= -3.75

a*(1) + *(1) + (-3) = -3.75

a + b = -3.75 + 3 = -0.75

from x= 2 and y = -4

a* (2)^2 + b*(2) + (-3) = -4

4a + 2b = -4 +1

4a + 2b = -1

Now we can solve the system f equations by elimination:

a + b = -0.75

4a + 2b = -1

multiply first equation by -2 and add to the second and  get

-2a - 2b = +1.50

4a + 2b = -1

2a = 0.50 and substituting into any of the equations get b =  -1

so the quadratic equation has a= 0.25 b= -1  c= -3

we can even  plug the any of the other values for  x given in the table and check the answer.

Are you sure you didn’t miss anything while writing the question?

Cause we have nothing to go off. Everybody types differently so there is no way for us to say how long he typed for, unless we were given aprox how many words he wrote in a minute or something

Brody has his computer repaired at store A. His bill was:
PIT_PIT [208]

Initial repair cost = $1200

Gratuity = 15% of the initial repair cost

= 15% of 1200

=\frac{15}{100} (1200)

= 15 × 12

= 180

Hence, the gratuity for the service is $180.
